Hello guys. Took the 2 cylinder cracked head from the Ford 1500 to a cylinder head repair shop who can weld and rebuild it for $500. It had cracks around the precombustion chambers with one going to the valve.
Now I need to take the block in so I can get it honed/bored as it had signs of rust and scratches probably developed prior to the guy I bot it from. He used it for mowing and said he bot it from a guy who had left it sitting for a while. The head gasket showed signs of leakage as well. So what I need to know is how to set it so I can remove and replace the diesel injection pump? As I understand, the engine needs to be at top dead center or somehow the injection pump gears has some marks on it somewhere that have to be lined up. Thanks. I can post some pics if needed. I don't want to remove the water and hydraulic pumps from the front until I know it is OK to do so.
